Crowd Pleaser: How to Wear Phillip Lim's New Cocktail Dress

Classic femininity with a hint of ethereal charm is all the rage right now and at the forefront of this elegant look is Phillip Lim, who manages to infuse all his creations with the perfect balance of modern class and timeless sex appeal. This gorgeous, embellished neck cocktail dress is light as air, yet manages to speak volumes.

Style Tips

For Day: Try pairing it with opaque tights , classic ballet flats, a blazer that cinches at the waist, and of course, a fabulous bag , for a chic working-girl-on-the-go-and-looking-fabulous-on-her-way- look!

For Night: Set all your bold accessories aside, all you need to make this look a night time stunner is black tights, an amazing pair of black pumps (extra credit for metallic pumps!), and a simple clutch- grey, black, silver, or neutral will do. Whatever you do, DO NOT wear anything on your ears except tiny studs or you'll risk taking the attention away from this beautifully embroidered neckline, not to mention- look like a cluttered mess of accessories!

Makeup Tip: Keep the makeup light, airy, and elegant. This dress is sure to bring the focus to your beautiful face, so don't scare people away with harsh, piled on makeup. Instead, stick to light shades- think pink, soft brown, or white eye shadow, cream blush with a peach or pinkish hue, and nude lips that shimmer. Finish it off with a touch of black eye-liner and a single coat of Mascara and go out and celebrate your newfound goddess status!
